Has been noted many times, dating monochromes can be very difficult.

Yours could be copy of the museum piece. I notice yours has inscribed lines on top where museum piece looks more like glaze crackle.

Missing data: dimensions each piece.

I wonder also about color your piece.

Any porcelain can have specks / imperfections. This have nothing to do with age. A copy of "famous" type in Qianlong reign would be produced to highest standard and would not have such specks.

Just because piece now in museum not mean that it was considered wonder or highly regarded 200 years ago. That museum did not exist until 20th century. How did piece come to museum? When? Was it excavated in 1980s?

Good luck,
Cal
